This post goes out to all the dreamers. This was written around 2005 at a time where my heart was very open. It touches me to re-read it and maybe it will touch you too. I have some others written around this time. If there's interest I'll post those too.
THE BOY WHO COULD LOVE
Once upon a time there was a boy…
Now this boy was a very sweet boy and in his Heart of Hearts decided and knew that he wanted the world that he saw in his heart to be the world that he saw with his eyes.
And so he set off to tell the people of his land about the world he saw in his heart.
First the boy came across was a businessman in a very fancy suit with a very large briefcase. The boy noticed that the man walked very quickly and though the boy said hello and hoped he would stop to talk the businessman kept walking and said hurridly, I’m too busy. Soon he was out of sight.
Next the boy came across a school teacher who was finishing a long day of teaching the children of her neighborhood. The teacher did not know the boy and when the boy asked if she would like to talk she hesitated because she too was busy but reluctantly agreed.
The boy talked with her about the world of Love that he had seen in his dream and how beautiful and amazing it was and the teacher sat and listened quietly and nodded her head several times.
When the boy was done he asked her if she would like to live in that same world with him.
The teacher thought about it for a long time and then came up with this answer…
“You’re dreaming kid.” and she went on her way.
But the boy was not discouraged, well, not enough to keep him from trying again.
Next he met a man who worked in a factory and was also coming home after a hard days work.
Are you lost little boy asked the worker? No replied the boy, I’m looking for someone just like you. Someone like me he asked? I dont think so said he. But the boy insisted, no just like you. I am looking for someone to tell about the world I have seen in my dreams and to invite you to join me in living in this world.
Oh… I see… You must be a very imaginative young boy to imagine a world where everything is perfect. But you see, our world is not that way and to live in this world you cannot Love each other all the time, it just isn’t possible.
Oh said the boy and for the first time he started to feel a bad feeling in his stomach… He started to doubt himself and he saw a bench and sat down there and with his head hanging low he sat to think about it and became very sad.
Just then when he was ready to go home and accept his defeat an old woman happened to come across him and notice that he was sad. She asked him what was the matter and so he told her his story.
Oh, I see said the old woman… I see… But I wouldn’t worry about those three… You see not everyone is ready to live in the world you have seen but that doesn’t mean that world isn’t as real as theirs. Just keep living in that world and those that are ready will see you and remember that they can live in that world too!
The young boy smiled… She knows… He thought… She knows…
And from that day forward the boy made a commitment to himself. He would live in the world he imagined and one day, one day that world would be real.
